COMMENTS
Some of the larger entries may only correspond to probable primes.
A number k is in this sequence iff A062709(k) is in A057733; this is the case iff A257273(k) is in A125246. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 27 2015

FORMULA
Here is an LLT-like algorithm, using a cycle of the digraph x^2-2 modulo N, that finds terms of this sequence generating a PRP (PRobable Prime) of A057733 numbers: N=2^k+3; S0=(N-5)/2; s(0)=S0; s(i+1)=s(i)^2-2 modulo N; if s(k-1) == S0 then N is prime. - Tony Reix, Aug 27 2015
EXAMPLE
For k = 6, 2^6 + 3 = 67 is prime.
For k = 28, 2^28 + 3 = 268435459 is prime.
